As part of our training, our parents suggested we hike to the top of Yosemite Falls. We wanted to hike to Nevada Fall, but because it was Memorial Day weekend our parents thought there would be too many people on the trail. It was very crowded on the trail to Yosemite Falls. It was the perfect temperature so that was nice. We went with our families, including our two younger sisters (age 7) who made it to the top with help from Cameron's older sister Avery and lots of Skittles. We had several bags of Skittles which helped us a lot too. At the top we went to the overlook which is a medium sized ledge over the top of Yosemite Falls. It was a big scary getting to the ledge, but the view was really cool. We could see Yosemite Valley and the top part of the waterfall. On the way back down we went a lot faster. The best part of the day was getting ice cream at our local market in El Portal.
